Religion and spirituality are not necessarily nor always identical, and it might be some parts of the world economics and themselves the status and shown in politics have dignity of religion assumed Our notion of a religious revival, however, would pe the preoccupation of an increasing number of persons with religious idea in the sense in which the words are commonly understood. There were some sations of such a revival even before the war They have been gradually multiplying since. ind began Age of Flight (Washington Post) The famous controversy as to who should be con- sidered the real inventor of the airplane now appears to have been settled by an agreeable compromise. Not very long ago President Roosevelt announced that the most celebrated airplane in the world—the one in which Orville Wright made the first real flight at Kitty Hawk—is to be transferred from the British Museum in London to the Smithsonian Institution here. Thus it will share honors and admiration with that other prototypical power-driven machine invented by the late Dr. Samuel Pierpont Langley. just. It has recently been asserted that if Orville and Wilbur Wright had only minded their own busi- ness and gone on repairing bicycles the history of this twentieth century would have been much different and much happier. This strikes us as wholly fal- facious. It seems almost certain that had neither the RELIGION AND WAR The Rev. Elmer McKee, rector of an Episcopalian Church in New York City, took occasion the other day to discount the probabilities of a religious revival as a result of the war. Evidently, the Rev. Mr. McKee believes that too much store has been set on the reports of fox-hole conversions. It that he denies there have been such conversions, but that he thinks the validity and completeness of conversions under stress of great emotional strain must be tested under peaceful and even humdrum circumstances. Moreover, he points out, the general tendency of war is to brutalize rather than to soften the men who engage in it is not | the New York Times, “will discover God for the first | time under the stress of wartime pain and need. Many more will become hard under the dehumanizing strains of total war. Still others will come out of the conflict with basically the same religious foundations they possessed on entering it Religion is not an emotional glow, or going with the right people, or doing good work, or a sense of fulfillment . is the service of God for His own sake without any thought of gain, It is giving all one has to the One consequences that immediately followed their intro- >Oklahoma, where a widowed mothe; served.

Men, as we all know, were working on the problem of human flight as long ago as the time of | Roger Bacon, and perhaps as long ago as the heyday | of Minoan Crete. Why were there virtually no important practical results from this study until our own century? Why is it that some peoples and certain historical ages are more preoccupied with techniques than others?
